Bug#771443: missing panel after reboot (because .config/dconf/user corrupted?)

Sat Nov 29 16:30:34 UTC 2014

Package: mate-panel
Version: 1.8.0+dfsg1-2~bpo70+1

To reproduce:

1. Log in to a MATE session.
2. Reboot the system with /sbin/reboot.
3. Log in to a MATE session again.

The menu at the top of the screen is missing.

Comparing my files with backups, .config/dconf/user was different.  I 
restored it and the menu returned on next login.

This is the second time this has happened that I can remember, so at 
least somewhat reproducible.
